I think I can make this event. I'll block this in my calendar.

Timothy

EDIT: I'll see if I can get some swag from FTE.

Hopefully, it will be a nice weekend. We can start the evening of the 21st, and work our way to Sunday the 23rd. I shouldn't have much left to do on my rig at that time. I will try to have some grub for everyone on Saturday evening. If everyone is okay with pork we can grill some pork steaks and if we can find some potatoes and corn on the cob we can grill that as well. I look forward to seeing everyone and hope this will be one of those weekends wear we have minimal work on vehicles and more bs and beer. But if there is work to be done, be sure to bring the parts and get ready to dive in head first to the project of your choice.

Ted

Right on Ted!
I am building a bar of sorts in San Angelo. I hope we are done by then but it will be down to the wire. Beer lovers should love this joint, 22 Taps and 300+ labels in the bottle.

So far, my calendar looks good for that weekend. I hope that I can make it out, at least on Saturday, for a visit. It's been a while since I've seen any of y'all.

I plan on having mine all back together by then. Putting new sticks and cups in this week. Then I will need to take a trip to college station for some help tuning for the new sticks.

What sticks did you go with Ted? I just got finished putting some 160/80 stage 2's in mine a few weeks ago along with an 38r with the Riffraff billet wheel....still have a huge grin but I've been more impressed with the gain in fuel economy!

I must also give thanks to @Toreador_Diesel for lending his large capable hands to the job and for teaching me how to do this myself if I ever go down that road again.

I'd like to go out by College Station too to get some live tuning....theres a decent BBQ spot called Kruez Market that just opened about a year ago...its the sister restaurant to the original in Lockhart

I ended up getting 165/30. Hoping all the improvements work.

I will most definitely be there!

Between this, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, I look forward to this weekend every year!

El_Coqui my man, glad I could be of assistance and get Brutus back on the road!

So........ Is this still on? I haven't heard a peep out of anyone in weeks.

Please advise. Send me a PM with directions. What are we doing about meals? When are most folks arriving?

Inquiring minds want to know.
